Patent EP-1290494-A2 (EP)
Inventor: IRVING MARK EDWARD
IPC: G03C1/42
Filed: 2001-06-06
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of processing color photographic film that has been imagewise exposed in a camera, said film having at least three light-sensitive units which have their individual sensitivities in different wavelength regions, each of the units comprising at least one light-sensitive silver-halide emulsion, binder, and dye-providing coupler, which method in order comprises: (a) thermally developing the film step without any externally applied developing agent, comprising heating said film to a temperature greater than 80 °C in an essentially dry process, such that an internally located blocked developing agent in reactive association with each of said three light-sensitive units becomes unblocked to form a developing agent, whereby the unblocked developing agent forms dyes by reacting with the dye-providing couplers to form a color negative image; (b) processing the developed film of step (a) by contacting it with a non-blocked developing agent, under agitation at a temperature of 30 to 50 °C under aqueous alkaline conditions, without forming a color negative image in the film by reaction of the non-blocked developing agent with dye-proving couplers inside the silver-halide emulsions, and (c) desilvering said film in one more desilvering solutions to remove unwanted silver and/or silver halide, thereby forming a color negative image; and (d) thereafter forming a positive-image color print from the desilvered film.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé de gestion de payements entre un acheteur/payeur et un vendeur/bénéficiaire dans un site tiers. L'acheteur est relié depuis le vendeur à un processeur de payement par des tiers pour traiter le payement par transaction électronique. Les détails de la transaction sont reçus via la connexion de l'acheteur. L'acheteur peut être déconnecté électriquement du vendeur, empêchant ainsi toute transmission de données financières ou privées au vendeur. Le processeur de payement par des tiers établit un compte pour l'acheteur, s'il n'en possède pas un, ce compte pouvant être crédité par carte de crédit, carte de débit ou compte bancaire. Le compte est identifié par adresse de courrier électronique ou tout autre identificateur unique. Le processeur de payement transfère le payement de l'acheteur au vendeur, par exemple, via un compte de vendeur à l'aide du processeur. L'acheteur peut être relié au vendeur après achèvement ou annulation de payement.

Abstract: A circular saw machine of the kind wherein a work
stock (W) is fed by a slidable carrier-combined vice
mechanism (15) to a circular saw (12) forming part of a main
vice mechanism (11) adapted to grip the work stock at front
and rear positions relative to a crosswise cutting course
of the saw (12); has an elongated guide frame (83) on which
the carrier-combined vice mechanism (15) can slide, said
guide frame (83) being pivotal about a fixed axis (82a) by
an actuating cylinder (86). The arrangement is such that
when the saw (12) has completed a cutting action the
actuating cylinder (86) can swing the frame (83) in a
direction such that a first clamping jaw (18a) that is
fixedly mounted on the carrier combined vice mechanism (15)
is moved away from its normal engagement setting with the
work stock (W), whilst a movable clamping jaw (18b) on the
vice mechanism (15) is also moved away from its normal
engagement setting with the work stock (W) by means of an
operating cylinder (87) mounted on said mechanism (15).
Thus, when the carrier-combined vice mechanism (15) has to be
moved away from the saw (12) both of its clamping jaws (18a,18b)
can be moved out of contact with the stock (W) and so
cause no damage to the stock. Spring means (84,85) support
the guide frame in a neutral position when allowed to do
so. An actuating cylinder (86) is provided to cause the
guide frame (17) to be displaced as necessary.

Abstract: A rotational angle detector which comprises: a
rotational angle detecting section (1) which detects an angle
detection signal correspondent to a rotational state of
a rotor in a short cycle and feeds it to a control section (2);
the control section (2) which calculates the fed angle
detection signal and sends an angle set signal through
a controller (6) to a controlled system (7); and a memory (3) which
stores the angle detection signal temporarily and also
stores an allowable maximum angle value for the angle
detection signal, wherein the control section (2) makes the
output cycle for the angle set signal longer than the
detection cycle for the angle detection signal and counts
the number of times when the angle detection signal as
fed within the long output cycle for the angle detection
signal is beyond the allowable maximum angle value and,
if it decides that the count is beyond a preset number,
outputs an abnormality signal instead of the angle set
signal.

Abstract: After an original image, including half-tone dot
meshed characters is inputted and a prescribed process
is applied to the original image, black pixel connected
patterns are extracted from a target process area. If
the density of the extracted pattern exceeds a prescribed
density, it is judged that the pattern is half-tone dot
meshed and both the respective average values and
standard deviations of the vertical/horizontal sizes
of the connected pattern are calculated. Then,
respective threshold values are calculated based on both
the respective average values and standard deviations,
and half-tone dots are eliminated. Then,
a pattern, the outline of which is long compared with
an included black pixel, out of the remaining connection
patterns is eliminated as an unnecessary pattern. Lastly,
projections attached to a character are deleted and
character extraction is terminated.
